Press OK to finish the installation. NIES-EPFL Transform will now be listed in the table.

Usage

To align chromatograms using NIES-EPFL Transform, select Processing > Register Image... in Image or Run > Register Images in Project. The NIES-EPFL Transform option will become available in the Transform Type combo-box. More details related to the Register Image action can be found in the User Guide.

The plugin can be configured to perform either of the two original methods as follows:

Algorithm A for non-MS data

Choose to use Bicubic as the Interpolation Type.

Algorithm B for MS and HRMS data

For HRMS data, choose to use Nearest Neighbor as the Interpolation Type.

For MS data, from Configure > Settings > Multi-Channel select By Integer Intervals for the MS Data Binning, and choose to use Bilinear as the Interpolation Type.

There are two additional configuration settings provided for Algorithm A and B. These settings can be modified through the menu Tools > Manage Plugins... Select the plugin from the table and click on the Configure button on the tool bar.

Typical peak widths (Col I and Col II) in pixel units, which defaults to 3 and 120 pixels.

The deformation correction enabled flag in true or false, which defaults to true.

Note: In addition to Algorithm A and B, the software supports HRMS data for all interpolation types by using the GC Image's MS Data Binning settings.
